As you'll notice all of the mod's so far have either been EXTREMELY cheap or free. The joys of being a student :cry:
so much more to come . . . I promise :cool:

the bottom grills have also been painted gloss black as well, I just don't have a during shot :smiley:
-
liking the mods mate. grille work does wonders for the front end. Also like the brushed fascia surround.
-
Cheers mate, it can either make the front end or it can look seriously bad :grin: just thought F it and went for it

alternator decided to break though so drove home with no electrics/power steering.
also didnt go faster than 30mph because of the awful grinding of the driveshaft on the ARB. Should be fitting TT ARB today :smiley:
